Next 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class – Finally with Smell-O-Matic

2014-mb-s-class-int-620x464

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has not yet been officially revealed in its entirety, but the folks from Stuttgart have peaked our interest by releasing a series of interior images and information.  Mercedes has gone above and beyond any interior standard imaginable.  Many of the new S-Class components, such as the steering wheel, are put together by skilled hands of craftsmen.  The level of interior design, material quality, and execution is second to none.  Ever since we spied the new S-Class testing in Colorado last year, we wondered what ground breaking technologies will it bring this time.   Now we are getting a glimpse into the interior features of the new S.

The 2014 model brings features such as advanced massaging seats, and heated arm rests.  It also has a ground breaking dual-view center dash screen.  This monitor allows two different channels to be viewed on the same screen at the same time.  The driver may see the Navigation screen, while the front passenger could enjoy a movie at the same time.  This technology is based on the viewing angle, and still sounds like science fiction.

However, the feature that catches the most attention is Mercedes’ new “Active Perfuming System”.  This feature comes as part of the “Air Balance” package which includes special air filtering with ionization.  The Active Perfuming System allows for interior smell customization via different smell cartridges.  The user can manually turn it on or off and adjust its intensity.  Mercedes says that this system will not permanently change the smell of your S-Class and that the perfume molecules do not attach themselves to fabric or clothing.  This way, you can enjoy your favorite smell while in transit, but you will not smell like your Mercedes once you get out.

The 2014 Mercedes S-Class will have a longer wheel-base limousine version, ultimate luxury and comfort, and likely a stratospheric price tag to go along with it.  The limousine version will challenge the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce, and also give a choice to those people who are mourning the demise of the Maybach brand.  We cannot wait for this car to be properly revealed.

Monday Maintenance Tip!

Run your AC during the winter! To keep your car’s air-conditioning system fit for the next warm season, run it a few times throughout the winter. This will prevent moving parts in the compressor from seizing. Also, circulating the refrigerant will help keep the seals soft and pliant.

Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 revealed: New six-wheeler mixes luxury and extreme driving

Eat your heart out, Hummer.
Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its all-new G 63 AMG 6x6, showing off both the vehicle’s insane off-road capabilities and its limousine-like interior that will make even the bumpiest of rides as cozy as a ride to a movie premiere.

The Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 is not for the squeamish. In fact, this six-wheeled beast nearly demands to be driven through some mud and over some rocks, followed by a cruise through the Sahara.

Whether climbing a mountain or fording a river, the G 63 AMG 6x6 is designed to offer passengers true Mercedes-Benz comfort.

And if a body of water gets in the way, no worries. “Fording a river becomes almost child’s play,” according to a statement from Mercedes, citing the vehicle’s fording depth of over three feet.
Built as a show vehicle to determine consumer demand, the G 63 AMG 6x6 almost exclusively uses parts from production G-Class models, including its AMG V8 bioturbo engine with 544 horsepower.


Ground clearance is no problem thanks to six massive tires, while the vehicle's almost 8-foot height and nearly 7-foot width would be daunting to even a seasoned SUV driver.

Mercedes-Benz

Whether climbing a mountain or fording a river, the G 63 AMG 6x6 is designed to offer passengers true Mercedes-Benz comfort.

As for scaling a mountain, the 6x6 features 15 different spring rates and gas-pressure shock absorbers that will keep the vehicle’s lucky occupants feeling a fairly smooth ride.
The six-wheeled machine is the first vehicle from Mercedes to boast an added pair of tires since the G-4, which served as a command car for Nazi Germany’s Wehrmacht army in the 1930s. Nearly 80 years later, the automaker is ready to offer it for civilian use.


For every ounce of off-road machismo the G 63 AMG 6x6 boasts outside, this six-wheeler is a total softie inside. Diamond-pattering quilting and leather upholstery make sure there’s no mistake that this army-ready SUV truly is a Mercedes.
Mercedes has only built two examples of the G 63 AMG 6x6 so far, and will gauge response to the vehicle to determine if and when it goes into full production.

Monday Maintenance Tip: Tread Depth.



To check tread wear, use the penny trick. Insert a penny into the tread groove with Abe Lincolns face showing, but with his head upside-down. If you can see all of Abe Lincoln's head, it's probably time to replace your tires!
